Chapter 260
Now the main hall of the General's Mansion has been built into a mourning hall, and Yan Jingxiao's corpse has not existed. Now only his usual clothes are placed in the coffin, and then he is buried.
The general's family knelt in the mourning hall and cried. Because it was the first day of setting up a spirit, all the officials came to pay their respects.
Originally, the client, the step-wife, needed to go to socialize at this time, but unfortunately, the old lady looked down on her at all, so the old lady brought her concubine's cousin to receive her there.
The client, Mei'er, Yan Jingxiao's two sons and a daughter, and several clan sisters from the family, the clan brothers knelt here and cried.
Chunmian didn't want to kneel down, but he just left like this, and it didn't seem very good-looking.
After all, the client wanted to repay the Grassland King. In the temporary plan of spring sleep, the Grassland King was really useful, so he had to wait until after autumn, about September, when the Grassland King's messenger came, he could leave.
Before this, if Chunmian had done something, he would have to launch a great escape within the scope of the Southern Dynasty.
Chunmian likes to be stimulating, but there was nothing in ancient times. The fastest means of transportation was a carriage. Under such conditions, escaping was not fun at all.
So, let's hold on for the time being.
It’s true that I don’t want to kneel down, because Yan Jingxiao or the Yan family are not worthy at all.
After Chunmian's mind flashed slightly, her eyes rolled and she fell to the side with a bang.
She scared the concubine next to her and almost jumped up. She was not very brave at first, but although it was daytime now, she was still panicked at the deep and cold mourning hall.
At this moment, there was a loud noise around me, and my eyebrows almost jumped up.
Fortunately, a clan girl next to her stopped her, and Mei'er calmed down.
"Madam fainted." Although there is no one in this mansion who looks down on Chunmian, there must be a title so that no one will hear it. If someone is reminded of this mistake, he will cause trouble for the general's mansion.
So, after Mei'er reacted, she shouted with a sharp voice.
Not far away, the old lady and her concubine's cousin Chen Fuyue had just finished socializing. She was about to take a break when she heard the movements in the mourning hall.
The old lady was worried, and with the help of the nanny, she walked over quickly.
I heard that Chunmian fainted, and almost rolled his eyes uncontrollably, and spat inwardly: "Useless thing."
Although the old lady was willing to support Chen Fuyue ascend to power, after the old lady found that it was not easy to operate in the Southern Dynasty, her idea was to find a noble girl with a good family background for Yan Jingxiao to be her second wife, and then to help the general's mansion.
To put it bluntly, she wanted to find a sucker and support the general's mansion.
Before spring sleep, she had already looked at the noble ladies from several families and was waiting to discuss with Yan Jingxiao.
As a result, the emperor's imperial edict disrupted everything.
Chunmian is not the daughter-in-law that the old lady is looking forward to, it would be strange if she can fall in love with it.
Moreover, the daughter of a low-ranking small official is still a concubine's daughter, and the old lady looks down on her even more!
"Send it back, don't get upset here." The old lady was not happy. She was not an outsider in the mourning hall, so she naturally didn't need to cover it up. So the old lady said to Mei'er with a stern face, and then took Chen Fuyue to the side for a busy schedule.
Chunmian was rudely carried back by two nannies.
Of course, in return, after the two nannies left, Chunmian only used a little trick to make the two fall down on the ground, so that they would not break it, but it was certain that the fall hurt.
Their rude movements hurt Chunmian, and Chunmian returned to one or two, which was not an exaggeration.
The client's yard in the General's Mansion is not good. It is close to the west and is very close to the servant's house in the north. It is also an old and dilapidated small house.
The old and dilapidated here is probably the same as the spare room in the backyard.
I simply repaired it to make the appearance look terrifying.
The bed board is very hard, the material on the surface of the quilt is very poor, it looks numb and not very soft inside, making Chunmian wonder if there is something else inside.
There was no cotton in the Southern Dynasties. Nowadays, the cotton coats are woven in the quilt. Although the kapok is not easy to weave, the woven in the quilt and the pillow is very soft.
Now the quilt feels complicated to the touch, Chunmian wonders if there is a straw inside.
Fortunately, although the quilt is not very good, it is very clean and has no smell.
"Girl, how are you?" Just as Chunmian lowered her eyes slightly, pinched the quilt, and was thinking wildly, a little maid walked in from outside, wiping her tears while walking.
Although she was not wearing a mourning clothes, she had a mourning belt around her waist, and the clothes on her body were covered with rough linen, and the materials were not very new.
The little girl is very thin. She looks sixteen or seventeen years old, looks average, has big eyes and a big voice.
Chunmian could feel that she lowered her voice, but the decibels were still amazing.
This is the only maid of the client, Hong Yao. When he was in the mansion, two people depended on each other for their lives. When they came to the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion did not care about the configuration of the client, or the client and Hong Yao were depended on each other for their lives.
Later, the client was tied to the grassland, and Hongyao followed him.
The client was penetrated by an arrow and Hong Yao followed with red eyes. Seeing that the grassland king was willing to bury the client, Hong Yao then wiped his neck with a dagger and followed the client.
He is a loyal little maid.
Hongyao followed the client and was considered a maid who could not be on the table. Even if he went to the mourning hall in front, he was not worthy.
So, she kept waiting in the yard.
I was cooking porridge in the kitchen, but I heard that the client was back and came over quickly to take a look.
When he came in, he saw Chunmian leaning on the head of the bed. Hongyao wiped his tears randomly, and squeezed out a smile and asked, "Girl, I cooked red date porridge, you can eat some before going to bed."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Chunmian to answer. Seeing that he was afraid that Chunmian would refuse, he turned around and headed to the kitchen.
After a while, Hongyao came in with the red date porridge that had been boiled for a long time.
The master and servant have a hard time, so the general's mansion doesn't care whether there is food and drink in their yard. If you want to eat and use it, you can go to the kitchen to get ready-made ones. Of course, leftovers are possible.
If you want ingredients, you have to ask grandpa to sue.
The client has been used to such a life since he was a child, so it doesn’t matter what to eat, just be able to fill his stomach.
Because he knew the client's situation, Chunmian had no hope for this bowl of porridge.
The rice is not too good, and the dates are also average. Fortunately, after being boiled for a long time, the rice is very soft and the taste of the dates is also integrated with the rice, revealing a little bit of fragrance.
Chunmian took a sip first, and felt that the taste was OK, then he scooped a large spoon and put it in his mouth.
Hong Yao looked at it. Although he was surprised by Chunmian's actions, seeing Chunmian finally willing to eat, Hong Yao smiled happily.
